  The grounds for deletion of the above six is not actually copyvio but "Wikipedia is not a free host" and "original research". The PDF from which all of these were derived contains the following cheeky message: recently, I have been adding material from this manual to the Wikipedia Free Online Encyclopedia. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page ) Please feel free to cut and paste information from this manual into Wikipedia and other online sources, but please make sure you include the link to the free manual at http://www.SoftwareMetrics.Com/freemanual.htm . I may be wrong, but I believe that all these articles are about non-notable techniques in Information Technology which are taught by SoftwareMetrics and not many other people. -- RHaworth 07:59, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:NOR and WP:WWIN. Stifle 01:02, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable. I think they're legit, but they seem to be marginal and not notable. Never seen them before in any software development context. Georgewilliamherbert 05:39, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
